I think i have the solution to this question of glue for ceramics. It
is called CeraFix and is found at a small local clay store. here is
what i have found through my use and my observation of other peoples use
of it:
1. Little or no Shrinkage
2. Good for 3000^+
3. REWETTABLE. It never goes bad!
4. good on scupture, and casting
5. FILS CRACKS in raw clay, bisque and glazeware.
6. White
I personally use it for repair of small cracks in the handles of cups.
I reccomend the 4oz. size. I also make a vinegar, slip, CeraFix combo
for joining any clay. This hasn't let me down yet.
I inquired on prices for Clayarters and got the following information:
2oz. US$1.88
4oz. $2.85
1lb. $9.25
